Answer:

x=1 and y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve by substitution the given system of equations:

\left \{ {{\frac{3}{8}x+\frac{1}{3}y=\frac{17}{24} }\atop {x+7y=8}} \right.

First, we have to choose an equation, no matter which one, and isolate a certain variable, no matter which one either. So, by our own criteria, we choose the second equation, and we'll isolate <em>x</em>:

x+7y=8\\x=8-7y

Now, this equivalence for x, we will replace it in the other equation, instead of <em>x</em>, we will put the result:

\frac{3}{8}(8-7y)+\frac{1}{3}y=\frac{17}{24}

Then, we solve for <em>y</em>:

\frac{3}{8}(8-7y)+\frac{1}{3}y=\frac{17}{24}\\\frac{3}{8}8-\frac{3}{8}7y+\frac{1}{3}y=\frac{17}{24}\\-\frac{21}{8}y+\frac{1}{3}y=\frac{17}{24}-3\\\frac{-63y+8y}{24}=\frac{17-72}{24}\\ \frac{-55y}{24}=\frac{-55}{24}\\y=\frac{-55(24)}{24(-55)}=1

Now, the final process will be to replace this y<em>-value </em>in one equation, no matter which one, and find x<em>-value</em>:

x+7y=8\\\\x+7(1)=8\\x=8-7\\x=1

Therefore, the solution of the system is x=1 and y=1

What is the rate of change ?
postnew [5]
The rate of change is also called the slope
 the formula foe the rate of change is (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

x1 = -3
x2 = 6
y1 = 14
y2 = -1
 rate of change = (-1 - 14) / (6- (-3)
= -15 / 9
= -5/3

Perfect square trinomial conditions
aev [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. an example of difference of squares (dos) is (x + y)(x - y) = x^2 - y^2.

step 2. dos must have only 2 square rootable terms and a "-" between them.

step 3. 196x^2 - 121y^2 = (14x + 11y)(14x - 11y) works!

step 4. 5x^2 - 245 = 5(x^2 - 49) = 5(x + 7)(x - 7) works!

step 5. 27w^5 - 75w = 3w(9w^4 - 25) = 3w(3w^2 + 5)(3w^2 - 5) works!

step 6. x^4 - 100y^2 = (x^2 - 10y)(x^2 + 10y) works!

What is the solution to the inequality -6( p - 8) &lt; -12?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

p > 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 6(p - 8) < - 12

Divide both sides by - 6, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

p - 8 > 2 ( add 8 to both sides )

p > 10
